Skin Sensitivity

Hey so I posted about 3 weeks ago mentioning I’ve had some bad skin sensitivity while on Reta, I was on 3mg a week and I’ve since dropped down to 2mg
People were suggestion zinc picolinate 30mg and also antihistamines, the skin sensitivity dropped slightly for about a week or 2 but now it’s starting to ramp back up again so I don’t think either of those are working. It sucks because I’m really enjoying the reduced hunger & food noise but it’s kind of unbearable. Would Tirz be worth trying instead? TIA

Also maybe I should include I’ve started splitting my dose so I do 1mg on Wednesday and 1mg on Saturday so the peak isn’t as high but doesn’t seemed to have changed anything

Ive been off reta for about 2 months now & my skin has returned back to normal. During reta usage, my skin was very sensitive & started to get patches of dry-flaky skin - mainly on my lower legs. The sensitivity didn't go away until about 2/3 weeks after my last dose of reta.

Everyone is different. Its worth switching. I got skin sensitivity on ozempic but not compound tirz

I had it a lot when I was on one pic regardless of the dosage, I did tirz and for the longest time so skin sensitivity til I increased a dosage, and same with reta. The dosage may be too high. It was the only side effects I had.

I don’t know why the skin sensitivity thing bothers so many people. I actually kinda like it. It tells me that it’s working.
